Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

Chapter 257 Thoroughly learn crystal dishes all at once!Special gift from parents!

nine in the morning.

Lin Xu finished the colorful horseshoe cake promised to the customer.

Together with the brown sugar Shaqima I made last night, the two snacks have all been made.

Shaqima has been divided into small pieces with a knife, wrapped in wax paper specially wrapped in food, and placed piece by piece in a specially made box.

Last night, Dou Wenjing heard about making Shaqima, so she asked the company's short video photographer to come over and take pictures of the process overnight.

This morning, it was edited into a one-minute short video and posted on the official account of Lin Kee Gourmet, so that customers can intuitively see the process of making handmade dim sum.

As soon as it was released, netizens expressed their greed.

"Is it really good to post this early in the morning?"

"I'm not a person who likes to eat Shaqima, but I still can't wait to swallow my mouth."

"Originally, I could lie down until eleven o'clock before getting up, but Sha Qima saw that I couldn't help but order a takeaway. Boss Lin has an inescapable responsibility for my weight gain!"

"I don't have any feelings for Shaqima, but this brown sugar looks too tempting. Can I buy it at the store at noon?"

"I heard that there are colorful horseshoe cakes today, has Boss Lin finally realized that he is a businessman?"

"..."

In the kitchen, looking at these comments, Lin Xu said to the company photographer:

"Taking advantage of the heat, hurry up and post the video of making the colorful horseshoe cake. From now on, you should try to post a video of the kitchen cooking every day. The person who cooks doesn't have to be me, it can also be other chefs."

Dou Wenjing, who was drinking pumpkin soup, nodded in agreement:

"Okay, okay, we got it... This pumpkin soup is really delicious. I regret moving the company away. If it's still opposite, I can come to the store to taste some delicious food when I'm walking around."

Shu Yun smiled:
"It's better to stay away. I've gained a pound in the past few days. It's a sweet burden to meet a boss who is good at cooking food."

At this moment, the kitchen is already busy.

Lin Xu rushed to Shen Baobao and Chen Yan, who were not far away wearing chef clothes and taking selfies, and said:
"Shall we begin?"

"Okay, I'll be there right away! Master Chen, do you think my hat is on right?"

"I'm wearing it straight. Master Shen, please take a look for me too. Is my hat crooked?"

Liang Huobao obviously only learned to make crystal skin jelly, not only asked Shu Yun for a new chef's uniform, but even specially put on the chef's top hat.

After putting it on, the style of the beautiful cook came out all at once.

The method of crystal skin jelly is really simple. In addition, the pigskin bought this time is scraped by machine, and the stubble on the outside and the grease under the skin have all been scraped off.

So Lin Xu didn't do anything, and directly instructed the two to start making.

"Take out the pigskin, and boil it briefly until the pigskin can be penetrated with a slight push of chopsticks."

Crystal dishes are made using the colloidal coagulation characteristics of pigskin.

In addition to the crystal elbow in Shandong cuisine, there are also crystal meat in Huaiyang cuisine, and crystal hoof flower in Sichuan cuisine.

The blanched pork skin is taken out of the pot, put into cold water to cool, and then scrape off the residual fat under the skin with a kitchen knife, and pull out the stubble that has not been removed.

For obsessive-compulsive disorder, this is a very comfortable experience.

Holding the tweezers in the kitchen, Chen Yan even thought of the process of plucking eyebrows in the beauty salon when she was plucking the stubble.

After scraping and washing, put the pigskin in hot water again to wash off the impurities on the surface, then control the moisture and start shredding.

"This pigskin is like a rubber band, how can I cut it better, Xu Bao?"

The reason why Lin Xu taught them to make crystal skin jelly was because of their poor cooking skills. Unexpectedly, the two of them were so poor that they even had difficulty cutting vegetables, and they didn't even know how to use a kitchen knife.

He said:
"It's really not easy to cut like this. You can roll up the pigskin and cut it, so that you can cut it thin and good."

Lin Xu demonstrated to the two of them, and taught them the correct way to hold a knife. Finally, the two stupid apprentices mastered the tricks of using a kitchen knife.

"Wow, it's so much easier to roll and cut, it's amazing!"

"That's right, cooking is really extensive and profound, and I, Chef Chen, still have a lot to learn."

"I, too, Chef Shen, have to study with humility in order to make cooking flourish."

It didn't take long for Lin Xu to master this cut.

When he was learning how to make steamed sea bass, under the guidance of his master Gao, he knew how to cut the white part of the scallion, take out the core, roll it up and shred it.

This method can be used not only for shredded green onion and pork skin, but also for thinly sliced ​​ingredients such as kelp, dried tofu, and fried bean curd.

After the pork skin is cut.

In order to make the crystal effect better, you need to put the pigskin into the basin, add salt-alkali noodles and hot water to wash it repeatedly.

This step can completely wash away the impurities on the surface of the pigskin, so that the skin jelly will be as transparent as crystal, and it will also make the pigskin whiter and tenderer.

After scrubbing for two minutes, the hot water in the basin has become cloudy.

Pour in clean water again and wash repeatedly until the water in the basin becomes crystal clear and no longer turbid.

Then drain the water, put the shredded pigskin into a porcelain basin, then pour half a basin of mountain spring water, add green onion, ginger and salt, cover it and put it in a steaming cabinet for steaming.

"Why use mountain spring water?"

"This can make the skin jelly more transparent."

After Lin Xu finished speaking, he took his mobile phone and looked at the message from his mother.

She and her father set off from their hometown at five o'clock in the morning, and they have already driven half of the distance, and they are expected to arrive in the capital around three o'clock in the afternoon.

After reading the news, he said to Wei Gan:
"My parents will come around three o'clock, and leave some food in the kitchen, so don't run out of food then."

"Don't worry, uncle and aunt will never be hungry."

after an hour.

The pork skin has been thoroughly steamed.

Carefully take the porcelain basin containing the pig skin out of the steamer. After opening the lid, a unique smell of pork floats out of the basin.

Carefully remove the onion and ginger, the water in the basin is still crystal clear, the pigskin has swelled a little, and the color has turned white.

"Can this really solidify? Would you like to add some agar?"

As a self-proclaimed fruit cheese expert, Shen Jiayue was a little skeptical that these skin jelly could solidify, because it looked too clear, like a basin of cold water.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Don't worry, it can definitely be solidified, but if it is solidified like this, it will not look good. Let me teach you a way to improve the appearance."

He brought a few white porcelain bowls, wiped off the water, and poured two blanched broccoli flowers into the bottom of the bowls.

Then use chopsticks to carefully pick out some of the pigskin from the pot and place it around the broccoli as loosely as possible, then scoop up the clear water in the pot and pour it over to fill it up to [-]%.

In addition to broccoli, you can also put some shredded red pepper or radish slices in this skin jelly, and these ingredients will become much more beautiful after solidification.

Lin Xu instructed the two to put the skin jelly in a bowl to make a bowl of jelly like a crystal elbow, and then put it in the freezer and wait for it to cool down and solidify.

"The skills of crystal dishes are all here, you two can practice more, and you can add more tricks when serving in bowls, such as using stewed chicken feet to make crystal chicken feet, or putting blanched autumn You can make crystal okra from sunflower.”

Shen Baobao's eyes lit up when he heard it:
"Can I make crystal bitter gourd?"

Lin Xu: "..."

Last time you learned fruit cheese, you made bitter gourd cheese. Now you just learned crystal skin jelly and want to make crystal bitter gourd. Baby, your filial piety is too...

"In theory, it is possible, but I don't recommend it, otherwise I don't care if my parents beat you up."

"Hahahaha don't worry, I'm just asking casually."

Mom and Dad don't like to eat bitter gourd.

But my grandpa always said that eating bitter melon is good for health, so he will like the crystal bitter melon I made by myself very much, right?

If I have time, I will secretly make it at home to surprise my grandpa!
Shen Baobao thought happily.

Mr. Han, who was checking the patient's examination report at the Jishuitan specialist clinic, didn't know that he had been targeted by his granddaughter.

Before lunch, Lin Xu taught two masters how to make steamed eggs.

Compared with crystal skin jelly, which takes too long to cook, steamed eggs, a short, quick and easy-to-show dish, are welcomed by masters Shen and Chen.

The two often ate the dishes made by Lin Xu, and they even had their own innovations in the steps of stimulating oil.

For example, when making steamed okra with eggs, Chen Yan felt that the okra and eggs tasted too bland, so she chose lard with a richer flavor to stir the oil, which earned her praise from several chefs in the back kitchen.

When Shen Baobao made steamed chicken breast with eggs, he also chose chicken oil to increase the umami taste.

When the two of them were making egg steamed shrimp, Lin Xu was asked to bring the shrimp oil before it was ready.

Obviously, this is the way to season the steamed eggs.

"It turns out that cooking is not difficult!"

Chen Yan ate the egg custard she made, and planned to go home in the afternoon to show off to her parents, and by the way, make some crystal skin jelly and put it in the refrigerator.

Shen Baobao kept sending messages to Chen Meijuan:

"Mom, when will you arrive? I'm still waiting to cook something delicious for you and Dad."

Well, after learning how to cook, the first thing I thought of was to show off in front of my parents-in-law. Fortunately, Shen Guofu and his wife were not around, otherwise I would regret that I didn't have a second child again.

Three in the afternoon.

A Toyota Prado with a Yinzhou license plate parked in front of the store.

When he took over the scenic spot, Lin Hongqi replaced his car with this second-hand Prado because the roads in the mountains had not been repaired and the family Guangben could not drive into the mountains.

This off-road vehicle, which Chinese people are used to calling "overbearing", has strong power and performance, and is most suitable for driving on mountainous terrain and various bad roads.

Pushing the door and getting off the car, looking at the domineering Lin Kee Gourmet, the tiredness on Lin Hongqi's face instantly disappeared.

"This store looks really cool!"

"Yeah, my son's achievements are getting higher and higher."

After the couple got out of the car, they opened the trunk, and instead of picking up the apple cider vinegar that had been bumped all the way, they picked up a plastic box next to the car door.

There was a strong fishy smell in the box.

"Are you still alive?"

"Alive, the second brother is really amazing, he caught so many wild soft-shelled turtles without making a sound."

Knowing that the couple came to the capital to attend the opening ceremony of Lin Kee, the second uncle Chen Meiliang took out a bag of wild soft-shelled turtles caught recently last night.

For the second uncle and the people in the scenic spot, this is not a rare thing.

Guarding the reservoir, I usually want to eat a few cages, and I can catch them easily.

But for people in the city, it is a very rare ingredient. Lin Hongqi can even imagine the expressions of his in-laws after seeing these soft-shelled turtles.

He picked up the box and walked towards the door of the store.

Chen Meijuan closed the car door and was about to open the door for Lin Hongqi after locking it, when Lin Xu came out of the shop, followed by Shen Guofu and others.

Well, upon learning that his in-laws were coming, Lao Shen directly rejected the afternoon board meeting.

No matter how big it is, it is not as important as welcoming the in-laws.

He rushed over in a hurry and brought fruit vinegar that his wife and niece were thinking about.

"Brother Lin has traveled all the way, you have worked hard."

"Oh, brother Shen is here too. It's not hard work, the whole journey is high-speed, and it's very convenient."

Just as Shen Guofu was about to help carry the plastic box, he suddenly smelled a strong fishy smell inside, so he asked curiously:

"What is this, bro?"

"I didn't know what to bring here, so I brought over the wild soft-shelled turtle that Xiao Xu's second uncle caught in the past few days, and let you have a try."

wild!pregnancy!First!fish! ?

Shen Guofu's eyes lit up.

I go!

This is a great supplement!

Brother Lin really understands me, knowing that my brother has been weak recently, so he brought such nourishing ingredients here... If I hadn't married my in-laws, I would have to pay respects to this good brother!

He was just about to take it and move it in, but he found it was quite heavy.

This made Lao Shen happy, it seemed that there were a lot of soft-shelled turtles.

Zhu Yong and Wei Gan worked on their eyelids, and seeing that Shen Guofu was struggling, they hurriedly helped lift the box.

Lin Hongqi explained:

"Take it out first to see if there are any dead ones, dead turtles can't eat them."

After the two carried the box in, Lin Xu looked at his parents and asked:

"What else is in the car? Let's move it down together, so as not to expose the problem later."

Although September is about to enter now, and the solar terms have passed the end of summer, the weather is still hot, and the scorching sun can even melt some plastics in the car.

Soon, the bottles and jars padded with foam boards in the trunk were moved to the store.

Almost all the male employees went to the aquarium to see wild soft-shelled turtles.

And the female employee looked at the orange juice swirling back and forth in the glass jar:
"Is this the fruit vinegar that has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin?"

"The color looks pretty, and the sour smell is quite strong."

"I don't know how the effect is, Mr. Shu, can we try it later?"

Shu Yun said:

"It's absolutely fine to taste, but the fruit vinegar tastes too sour if you drink it directly, so you need to mix some honey into it. I'll ask the boss later, and if possible, I can make a pot for you to taste."

"Thank you, Mr. Shu!"

There are indeed a lot of soft-shelled turtles. The big and small ones add up to nearly twenty of them, and all of them are alive.

"Meow!!!!"

The little guy was really scared at first, but when he saw these soft-shelled turtles being knocked on their shells, he would retract his head, so the little guy raised his paws and knocked on the soft-shelled turtle shells one by one.

Knock whichever turtle is exposed, as if playing a game of whack-a-mole.

In order to prevent the soft-shelled turtle brought by his parents all the way from being played to death by this little guy, Lin Xu asked Zhu Yong and Wei Qian to put the soft-shelled turtle into the aquarium.

"Xiao Xu, this turtle at night..."

Shen Guofu looked at the energetic soft-shelled turtles in the aquarium, as if he saw himself in a fierce spirit.

Lin Xu said:

"Let's kill a few chickens tonight and have a taste. Just in the afternoon, free-range chickens will be delivered, and I will make a classic Farewell My Concubine for you to try."

"Okay, okay! I'm going to have to drink two more glasses if I try to be cleaned up by your mother-in-law today."

Lin Xu is not very good at making soft-shelled turtles.

But it's okay, there are masters in Beijing who are good at making this dish.

He took a photo of the aquarium with his mobile phone, and then sent it to his brother Xie Baomin:
"Brother, my parents brought some wild turtles to the capital. If you are not busy in the afternoon, can you come and teach me how to do it? By the way, take two more. I feel that these turtles will be sold out if they don't make it through tonight."

As soon as I sent it, Xie Baomin replied in seconds:
"I'm having a meeting with Director Liao. I'll be there when the meeting is over. Don't post it in your Moments, lest Qiu Qiu and the others see it. I didn't taste a few of those waists last night, and they all snatched them up." gone."

"Good brother!"

After the chat, Lin Xu took his parents around the store and talked about the layout and the functions of each area by the way.

When I came to the second floor, I happened to bump into Shen Baobao who came out of the kitchen with crystal skin jelly and garlic dipping sauce. This girl was wearing a chef's uniform. The tall chef's hat was replaced by a short chef's hat. It looks naughty and cute.

"Mom and Dad, you are here, come and taste my handicraft, I did it from beginning to end."

While talking, Ji Minghui brought two bowls of hand-rolled noodles, Qin Wei and a few helpers brought some stir-fried vegetables and side dishes, and Zhuang Yizhou brought a small bowl of whitebait soup.

Well, several chefs served the dishes in person, and the noodles were filled up immediately.

Chen Meijuan thanked everyone politely, took a mouthful of the skin jelly made by her daughter-in-law and put it in her mouth, with a slightly stunned expression, then gave her daughter-in-law a thumbs up:

"Oh, our family's Yueyue's cooking is really good, much better than Xiaoxu's cooking, Lao Lin, please try it, this cooking is better than the ones eaten at Diaoyutai on the day of engagement."

Lin Xu: "..."

Mom, you'd better not boast a few words.

In case Kua puffed his head into the kitchen and made some dark dishes, there was no way to end it.

Thinking of the old man's expression last time when he ate bitter gourd cheese, Lin Xu's heart throbbed for no reason.

Lin Hongqi tasted it, his eyes were slightly startled, and then he boasted:

"It's really good. It's smooth and tender, and it's a bit elastic. It's hard work and joy."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as you and your mother love to eat."

Shen Baobao was very reserved.

at this time.

After watching the soft-shelled turtle, Shen Guofu slowly walked over from the stairs, and Shen Baobao, who was overwhelmed with confidence by his parents-in-law, immediately moved over with chopsticks:

"Dad, try this dish quickly, it doesn't suit your taste."

Shen Guofu asked curiously:

"Xiao Xu is cooking new dishes?"

Shen Baobao said with a smile:
"It's not him who did it. It's a new chef. It's just for the elders to try the dishes to see if it's suitable for them to stay in Lin Kee."

Try dishes?

Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu became interested.

Because when the chef is trying the dishes, he often puts out [-]% of his skills to cook them, and the dishes taste better than usual.

He took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of jelly and looked at it:

"Well, this skin jelly is made translucent, it's a bit of a skill."

Hearing this, Shen Baobao's expression brightened.

Shen Guofu took a look at the frozen skin, then dipped it in the dipping sauce full of garlic paste, and after putting it in his mouth, a painful expression soon appeared on his face.

"My god, don't you need money for the salt today? Why do you make the dipping sauce so salty? People who don't know how to cook should know that you can't add too much salt, right?"

He muttered and ate the jelly into his mouth, and then took several sips of the water on the table.

After putting down the water glass, he said to Lin Xu:

"Xiaoxu, you can't have a chef of this level. You can't even be a helper. Isn't your level too bad? With just this little dipping sauce, I don't think I can finish it in three days. Good guy, just add more dipping sauce They can all be family heirlooms.”

After finishing speaking, he noticed that his daughter's face became ugly, so he asked curiously:

"Girl, what's wrong with you? You have such a bad complexion, what's wrong with you?"
